Force amazingly start 10 attacks in Lions 22 and score once. But camping in that zone is sometimes as valuable as scoring in the first half. Problem is the Lions lineout D is now galvanised.

I am sick of the white man's narrative of the world. God we have so little to say with such a big platform to say it.
Give me first nations stories, immigrant stories, feminsit stories. Anything but this bullshit.

My first federal election voting in #Auspol
Did my research on the candidates I selected, but I feel in 2025 we will need to demand a lot more from our representatives.
Still, a proud day.

Such an important point made by an Aussie voter commentating on the national leaders debate in #Auspol
The social sciences became uncool, and now we sit with leaders who struggle to interpret the world around them.
